18 Female Travel Influencers To Follow For Epic Trips in 2019

A list of top female travel vloggers who have partnered with lifestyle, tourism and product brands (and have incredible travel recs!).

Gone are the days when travel was just for a privileged few.

In 2016, Airbnb reported that more than 80% of millennials seek unique travel experiences and see traveling as a part of their identity. It also found that “most millennials prioritize travel over buying a home or paying off debt.”

Millennial travel rates are on the rise and they are using social media to both post their epic beach photos and look up recommendations for the best spots on their trip.

Yes, Travel Influencers Work With Tourism Brands, They Also Work With CPG, Beauty and Tech Brands

A 2014 study from Google found that “two out of three consumers watch travel videos when they’re thinking about taking a trip,” and a quick real-time search on Instagram shows 338 million posts are tagged with #travel.

Social media plays a big role in travel plans for both younger and older generations making travel influencers a valuable part of the marketing equation for both travel and hospitality brands.

But those aren’t the only brands that travel influencers work with.

Hotels, tourist attractions, food and bars, and travel products may seem like the obvious partners for travel influencers but are not the only industries that can benefit from working with them.

Because many travel influencers produce lifestyle content, CPG brands like Neutrogena, Listerine, Essie, Olay, and mobile & internet brands like AT&T (to name a few), have also benefited from their recommendations influencers, some positioned as brands to bring on-the-go.
